De Grafelijke Korenmolen

The De Grafelijke Korenmolen reaches a substantial height with thick stone walls and features two sets of millstones for grinding grain into flour.

First documented in 1451, the mill gained its name when the Van den Bergh family received their count title in 1486, making it the oldest windmill in the Netherlands.

The mill represents the traditional Dutch milling heritage, where local farmers brought their grain under the exclusive milling rights of the Van den Bergh lords.

Visitors need to check the miller's presence through the website before planning their visit, as access to the mill requires the supervision of staff members.

During World War II, the German Wehrmacht used the mill as an observation post while local residents found shelter in its lower spaces.
